Two new battery recycling plants are set to open in the Black Country in the coming weeks.
Recyclus is launching a new facility in Tipton next week which will recycle lead-acid batteries while a second lithium-ion recycling facility is due to open later in February in Wolverhampton.
The Tipton plant aims to increase Recyclus' lead-acid battery recycling production capacity from an estimated 16,000 tonnes in the first full year of production to circa 80,000 tonnes by 2027.
